The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Extended TCP Options and IPv6 Extension Headers IPFIX Information Elements' (draft-ietf-opsawg-ipfix-tcpo-v6eh-18.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Operations and Management Area Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Warren Kumari and Mahesh Jethanandani. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-opsawg-ipfix-tcpo-v6eh/ Technical Summary This document specifies new IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) Information Elements (IEs) to solve issues with existing ipv6ExtensionHeaders and tcpOptions IPFIX IEs, especially the ability to export any observed IPv6 extension headers or TCP options. Working Group Summary Was there anything in the WG process that is worth noting? For example, was there controversy about particular points or were there decisions where the consensus was particularly rough? This text from the Shepherd's writeup summarizes the reason for the document, and why there was a strong consensus on the document. Within the working group, this document was seen as valuable since it addresses the current limitations of IPFIX entity 209 tcpOptions and 64 ipv6ExtensionHeaders. OPSAWG reached a consensus to deprecate ipv6ExtensionHeaders and tcpOptions as described in section 8.1 and in introduce new IPFIX entities. Section 8.2 introduces a new IPFIX data type since existing unsigned integers were to small. Document Quality Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a significant number of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? Are there any reviewers that merit special mention as having done a thorough review, e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type, or other Expert Review, what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type Review, on what date was the request posted? The document does not have any known implementations. But it trying to address the gaps in the existing IPFIX document. This like the other documents in this cluster, went through a review by the IPFIX doctor and SECDIR. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Thomas Graf. The Responsible Area Director is Mahesh Jethanandani. IANA Note This document should be treated as a cluster with this document, draft-ietf-opsawg-tsvwg-udp-ipfix-12, and draft-ietf-opsawg-ipfix-fixes-10. _______________________________________________ OPSAWG mailing list -- opsawg@ietf.org To unsubscribe send an email to opsawg-le...@ietf.org
